Setan frowned in confusion.
"Isn't Mother accepting Nina because of me? Nina saved my life."
Yian immediately burst out laughing.
"You really think that? You're far more narcissistic than I realized."
Setan's brow twitched. Yian continued mercilessly.
"Your mother likes Nina because she's the City Lord of Barbarian City. She's also the Revered Beast your mother worships."
He pointed at his son.
"What does any of that have to do with you?"
Setan's smile froze.
For several seconds, he simply stood there.
So... He had completely misunderstood.
The warmth he'd felt moments ago evaporated instantly.
Seeing his expression, Yian nearly laughed himself breathless.
Setan rubbed his forehead.
"Then why was Mother so hostile toward Nina before?"
"Because she didn't know who Nina was." Yian shrugged. "The moment your mother heard that a female had become the City Lord of Barbarian City, she practically idolized her."
His tone carried a mixture of fondness and exasperation.
